Remove titlebar from Firefox in Metacity or Compiz

I'd like to remove the titlebar from Firefox 4 in Gnome.  I've looked around and it looks like I can do it with Compiz but I'd rather not use it just for that, so is it possible to do this with Metacity?

Thanks for looking!

e:  I might just use Compiz, how exactly would I remove the titlebar in that?  I tried going to Window Decorations, and under the "Decoration windows" entry I put "any & !(class=Firefox), but that doesn't seem to do anything.  I've also tried "any & !(role=browser)" but that doesn't do anything either.  Any ideas?

Actually, the "Decoration windows" entry doesn't seem to do anything.  I've tried removing decorations on Ccsm and gnome-terminal and neither of those worked either.  Is this just me, or does it not work for anyone else either?

I don't know how to do this with metacity alone but devilspie will allow you to do this with any window manager.
See http://foosel.org/linux/devilspie for a manual.

thx! but does it work for you in un-maximised firefox windows?

EDIT:
ok, just discovered that the addon let's you add the buttons manually to any toolbar. works now
